Our pick
Leonie the Giraffe gift box
39,99 EUR
The one to send when you do not know the family well. A doudou and a rattle in a printed box, so it reads as considered rather than grabbed on the way.
- Arrives closed and printed, nothing to wrap
- Two objects, so it does not look thin
- The doudou is the part that gets kept
It is the most expensive gift on this page, and a second one for the same family repeats itself.
The other six
Also boxed, same price
Ready to give, 39,99 EUR each.
02
Marcel the bear doudou and rattle gift set
39,99 EUR
The same box in a different character. Choose on the animal the nursery already leans towards, because the contents are the same.
Pros, and the catch
- Same format and price as the giraffe
- Reads slightly less gendered than the giraffe
- Boxed, so it can go straight into a bag
Nearly identical to entry one, so this is a choice of character and not a step up.
03
Ollie the Elephant gift box
39,99 EUR
The third character in the same format. Useful when a family has two children and you want two boxes that do not look like one present twice.
Pros, and the catch
- Third option at the same price
- The safest of the three if the room is already decorated
- Printed box, no wrapping
The least requested of the three boxes, so it is the one most likely to be unavailable at short notice.
Under 20 EUR, to wrap yourself
From 9,95 EUR. These arrive in shop packaging.
04
Marcel the bear doudou
19,99 EUR
Half the price of the box, and it is the half that matters. If budget is the constraint, send the doudou and skip the rattle.
Pros, and the catch
- The object that survives the first year
- Flat and light, so the postage stays low
- Works as an addition to somebody else's present
It arrives in shop packaging, so you wrap this one yourself.
05
Leonie the giraffe wooden rattle
15,95 EUR
The gift for a second or third baby, where the parents already have everything soft and nothing wooden.
Pros, and the catch
- Wood and fabric instead of another plush
- Small enough to send with a card
- In use from the first weeks
A rattle alone can read as a small gift, so it works better as one of two things than as the whole present.
06
Leonie the giraffe pacifier clip
15,95 EUR
The practical one. Parents start losing pacifiers in week two and nobody thinks to buy them a clip.
Pros, and the catch
- Solves a problem the parents already have
- Same price as the rattle
- Matches the doudou characters
It is equipment rather than a keepsake, so send it next to something the child keeps.
07
Leonie giraffe bead maze
9,95 EUR
The lowest price here and the last one to be used. Wooden beads on a curling wire, for a baby who sits up but does not walk yet.
Pros, and the catch
- Under ten euro
- Still new when the plush has been in rotation for months
- Solid wood base, sized for sitting babies upwards
It does nothing at all for a newborn, so it is a present for month six and not for the hospital.

How we chose · What this ranking is based on
Who the gift is forMost people looking for a birth gift are buying for the parents, not the baby. The ranking follows that: what survives being opened in front of other people, and what is still in the house a year later.
Ready to give, or notThe three boxes arrive closed and printed. Everything below them needs wrapping. That one fact moves a gift up or down this list more than anything else does.
What we will not claimWe do not personalise, we do not print names, and we make no claim about where these are made. Anything we cannot source, we leave out.
Before you choose
Questions we get asked
Is the gift box included in the price?
Yes. The box is the packaging the gift is sold in, printed and closed, and it is meant to be handed over exactly as it arrives.
Can you personalise it with the baby's name?
No. We do not offer personalisation of any kind, on any product. If a name on the gift matters, we are not the right shop for it.
Which of these suits a christening rather than a birth?
The doudou and the three boxes all work. The bead maze does not, because it is for a baby who can already sit up.
What if the parents already have one?
The three boxes are three characters with the same contents, so a second box is a genuinely different present rather than a duplicate.
How much is delivery?
Free anywhere in Europe over 49 EUR. Below that it is charged at checkout.
If you want one answer: send the boxed set.
It arrives ready to give, it holds two things instead of one, and the doudou inside it is the part still in the cot next year.
